Chapter 3
"Sod off, Malfoy!" Harry screamed, coming face to face with him.
"No, I don't think so," he replied. "Everywhere else is full and we want a place to sit."
"Sit in the corridor," Ron retorted, stepping beside Harry.
"Sit down, Weasel, before I break your face in. God knows, your mother would never be able to afford the hospital bills." Ron's face turned as red as his hair as he clutched his wand in his pants pocket.
"You can sit in our seats," Kris said suddenly, hoping to break up the fight. "We don't mind sitting on the floor." Draco turned to her.
"I'm not going to sit in any seat offered by a mudblood," he said, scornfully. Kris looked at him surprised.
"What the fuck makes you think that I'm a muggle-born? You've never met me before."
"You are wearing muggle clothes in a state of such shabbiness that it's impossible for you to be pureblood." Kris looked down at her clothes. True they were shabby, but then again, none of them have had a chance to change in almost 24 hours.
"Fine, if you don't want to sit in a seat offered by a quote- unquote mudblood, then you can sit your ass on the floor, you egotistical bastard." Drake, Lin, and Kris proceeded to their seats, amused at the surprised face Draco was now sporting.
"Who are you?" he finally asked. Kris looked at him.
"My name is Kristal Marie Potter. No relation to Harry, at least not that I know of. My twin brother, Drake, best friend, Lin, and I are from Charleston, South Carolina. We won a trip to England off the radio, spent three hours packing, five hours on a plane, ran to King's Cross which was very busy, got pushed into a barrier which we slipped through instead of falling against, and were then pushed onto this train by some weird guy in a bath robe and pointed hat. We have no idea where we are, what we're doing, or how we're getting back to America. Personally I want to check this out, it's very spontaneous and a big difference to cleaning our apartment since the heat wave made it where we can't go outside. Now."
"Stop rambling Kris!" Drake screamed suddenly.
"You're not supposed to be on this train?" Harry asked. They shook their heads no. "What are you going to do when we get to school?" Drake and Lin looked at Kris, wanting her to answer.
"Go straight to Professor Dumbledore, I suppose," she replied. "We figure there are two ways we ended up on this train. One- muggle security is at an all-time low, or two- we're witches and wizards and no one ever told us."
"You three haven't done magic before?" Hermione asked.
"No," Drake replied. "We never even knew there was a real wizarding world until we met you guys."
"So you're not muggle-borns," Ron interjected, "you're muggles."
"Technically yes." Draco took that time to look at Kris inquisitively.
"I have a question," he started. Everyone turned to look at him. "If you guys are muggles, then how come you know so much about the wizarding world?"
Damn he's good Kris thought. Drake and Lin looked at her with alarm. She ended up saying the first thing that came to her mind.
"We're psychic. We had a dream about this so now I'm just guessing it's what's happening."
"What's a psychic?" Ron asked quietly. They ignored him and Draco continued.
"If you really are psychic then what's going to happen when you get to school?"
"We'll go to Dumbledore," Kris started. She paused, pretending to search her mind for the answer. "We'll explain to him what happened and he will allow us to stay, taking us straight to a place called. Diagon Ally. We'll get our supplies and come back, staying in a spare guest room until tomorrow morning where we will be sorted by a talking hat into. Gryffindor."
"I don't believe you," he replied skeptically. We were saved from answering, though, when the loud speaker came on and announced that we would be arriving at the school in 15 minutes.
"Oh, my, we haven't changed into our robes yet!" Hermione screamed. Everyone scrambled out of the compartment to change into their robes, leaving Kris, Drake, and Lin alone again.
"Kris, are you sure this is going to work?" Lin asked.
"No," was Kris' only reply. "It's too late to turn back now though. This is really exciting, not knowing what we're getting ourselves into." Drake and Lin looked at each other, smiling.
"You're right," Lin started.
"It is," Drake finished.
15 minutes later, the train slowed to a stop and the three teens got into a carriage by themselves.
"I can't believe this is really happening," Kris said as they pulled up in front of the magnificent castle they had only heard about in books. The three of them followed the other students into the castle, trying to fit in, but obviously not being able to since they were adorned in muggle clothing, having no robes to put on. They walked into what they guessed to be the great hall but instead of sitting at a table, they walked up to the teacher's table, seeing Professor Dumbledore.
"Professor?" Lin started. Dumbledore turned to them.
"Why aren't you three in uniform?" he asked.
"We don't have any," Kris answered. "We really needed to talk to you."
"Well go sit at your respectable table and we'll talk after dinner."
"Professor," Drake started, "We don't have a table. We don't have anything. That's what we needed to talk to you about." Dumbledore finally took a closer look at them.
"Come to think of it, I've never seen you three here before."
"That's because we've never been here before," Kris said impatiently. "We came here by pure accident." Dumbledore looked at them for another minute before coming around the table and beckoning them to follow him.
"Minerva," Dumbledore said to a lady who was obviously Professor McGonagall with the first years about to be sorted. "Please start the sorting without me. I have to do something real quick." McGonagall looked at us and then nodded. We then followed Dumbledore to a gargoyle where he gave the password (mars bars) and followed him into his office.
"Please explain to me what's going on," he said. Kris told him everything that had happened since they won the tickets. "So," he started after she finished, "did you come to me for a way home?" Drake, Lin, and Kris looked at each other.
"Actually," Kris started, "we were hoping we could stay, maybe find out why we're here. It's my belief that everything happens for a reason." Dumbledore looked at them for a second.
"I have no idea how this could have been passed over, and I do intend to find out, but since you are here, it is obvious that you obtain the ability to do magic. You will have to have tutoring sessions every night and study very had to catch up, but if you would like to stay and join the other students, you have my permission." The three visibly sighed with relief. "No we should go and get your supplies before Diagon Ally closes. Please excuse me for a moment while I go tell the others where I'm going." The moment he left the room, all three burst out in giggles.
"This is so cool, you guys," Kris said after she got over her fit. "Who would have thought that we would actually be witches?"
"Hem-hem."
"Sorry Drake, and wizard." Drake nodded with satisfaction. A few minutes later, Dumbledore came back and told them they were going to floo to the Leaky Cauldron by Diagon Ally. As soon as they reached Diagon Ally, they all looked at each other, finally realizing what they forgot.
"Do you have any money?" Dumbledore asked. Drake, Lin, and Kris looked at each other.
"Well," Kris started, "we do have some money saved up. Actually we've been saving since the moment we could get money."
"We were going to use it for college since we just graduated high school." Drake continued.
"But this is better," Lin finished.
"How much do you have?"
"About 30,000 dollars," Kris answered. Dumbledore looked confused. "It's the American currency."
"Where is it?" Kris pulled out a small, rectangular card.
"Is there an ATM machine here?"
"I think Gringotts might have one exactly for this reason." The four of them proceeded to Gringotts where they withdrew all of their money and traded it in for wizarding money (equaling approximately 94,000 galleons). They kept about a thousand for their supplies and put the rest in a safe.
"That should hold you over for a few years," Dumbledore said. After leaving Gringotts, they went to Madam Malkin's Robes for Every Occasion to get their uniforms. Then they went to Flourish and Blotts for their books and finally to Olivander's to receive their wands. This is what they had been waiting for. After trying practically every wand in the store, the three finally found wands that agreed with them. Drake's wand was made of Holly Oak, 9 ½ inches long, made of powdered horn from a Peruvian Vipertooth Dragon*. This wand was great for transfiguration. Lin's wand was maple oak, 8 ½ inches long, made with a feather from the eagle end of a hippogriff, great for charm work. Kris' wand was also Holly Oak, 9 inches long, made with the hair from the tail of a centaur. Hers was great for defense hexes. After they left Ollivander's, they went back to they castle where Dumbledore set them up in a guest room for the night. Even though they were starving, they were also exhausted from 24 hours of no sleep and fell straight to sleep, all three thinking about what would happen tomorrow morning at breakfast.
